I had to work at the Y this afternoon, and decided to run there instead of biking or driving (it's about 2.5 miles away). It was fun to do something different and I got 5 miles in today which isn't bad at all (for me). I think some of the people on the street (this was downtown Worcester) thought I was a little crazy! The only tough part was that I was carrying a (light) backpack which I am not used to doing while running, and I felt like it threw off my form a little; toward the end I did start getting a feel for how to adjust for it.
